Meet Jess, a warm and thoughtful psychologist who is passionate about supporting children, teenagers, and families through the challenges that come with growing up. She was drawn to psychology through seeing how important mental health has become, and how powerful it can be to have a safe, steady person beside you when life feels overwhelming or uncertain.

Jess brings a broad range of experience across disability, community mental health, and school settings. She has worked as a Behaviour Support Practitioner supporting NDIS participants and their families, and has supported clients across areas including neurodivergence, anxiety, behavioural difficulties, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Her approach is person-centred and strengths-based, with a strong focus on the therapeutic relationship. She draws on evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, DBT, and Solution-Focused approaches, tailoring support to each young person and family. A key philosophy guiding her work is the belief that people are doing the best they can with the resources they have, and she meets clients with compassion and curiosity.

Jess has a particular interest in supporting young people and families who are diverse in culture, religion, gender, and sexuality, and she values helping children feel safe to explore and celebrate who they are.

Outside of the clinic, she enjoys dancing, reading, playing badminton, and spending time with loved ones.
